Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

"boom"

The sword light and the saber light clashed, unleashing a deafening roar and simultaneously releasing a surge of spiritual energy that once again assaulted the surrounding cultivators.

However, this time everyone was prepared in advance. They not only stayed far away, but also activated their protective spirit shields in time to resist, so they were not affected by the two people's attacks.

"Hmph, as expected of the head of the Li family, he was able to block my casual attack. It seems that the Li family does have some ability."

Upon hearing Yue Tian's words, Li Qingzhou's expression changed slightly. What seemed like a casual attack was actually a display of forty percent of his strength.

Judging from the other party's words, that blade of light was just a casual strike. If the other party was not exaggerating, then the Li family might not be able to suppress this mad cultivator today.

"Your strength is indeed extraordinary, as you, the mad cultivator Yue Tian. However, today is a joyous occasion for the Li family. If you wish to offer your congratulations, we naturally welcome you. But if you come to cause trouble, even if you are a late-stage cultivator, our Li family will absolutely not tolerate your reckless behavior!" Li Qingzhou's expression quickly returned to calm as he politely bowed.

After hearing what the other party said, he used his divine sense to probe Yue Tian's cultivation level and naturally discovered that the other party had advanced to the late stage. Although he was somewhat shocked, he still maintained a calm demeanor.

"Hahaha! Are you threatening me?" Yue Tian laughed twice, then suddenly lowered his head and said with a fierce expression.

The three men's expressions instantly turned serious. Li Heng and the clan elder even placed their hands on their storage bags, ready to receive any attack from the other side, while Li Qingzhou remained polite.

"While your strength is formidable, there are still Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Gongsun and Situ families, as well as several Foundation Establishment fellow cultivators who are on friendly terms with my Li family, in the main hall of my Li family today. If a fight were to break out, are you not afraid that we would swarm in and wipe you, this mad cultivator, from the list of those in Leizhou?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Yue Tian's eyes, but then a mocking smile appeared on his face as he chuckled and said...

"Is that so? Then I'll see if they dare to stand up to me on behalf of the Li family. If they really do make a move, they'll be my next target after I leave the Li family!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingzhou cursed the other party inwardly. He hadn't expected that this arrogant cultivator was not only arrogant but also so clever, immediately grasping the key point.

He also knew that none of the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to He would dare to oppose Yue Tian, ​​especially the Gongsun and Situ families. They probably secretly hoped that Yue Tian would cause a great disturbance in the Li family and kill two more Foundation Establishment cultivators, so that they could gradually drive the Li family out of the Qingxia Mountains in the future, or even directly annex the Li family.

"As long as this junior hands over Luo Yunyan, I will leave the Li family immediately," Yue Tian said arrogantly, planting his broadsword in the ground.

"Don't even think about it! Yunyan and I truly love each other, how could I possibly hand her over to a madman like you!" Li Heng said through gritted teeth in anger.

A murderous intent flashed in Yue Tian's eyes as he stared at Li Heng and slowly drew his broadsword. Clearly, he was very displeased with Li Heng's words and even had the intention to kill him.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhou's face turned somewhat ugly, and he couldn't help but regret agreeing to the marriage. However, since things had come to this point, he naturally couldn't hand over Luo Yunyan. Otherwise, the Li family would lose all face and become a laughing stock in Leizhou, or even the entire Xi Kingdom.

He took a deep breath and directly rejected Yue Tian.

"You should refrain from saying anything more. Luo Yunyan is now a member of the Li family and there is no way we can hand her over. You should leave now."

Upon hearing this, Yue Tian grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, but the smile looked rather eerie.

"Alright! In that case, your Li family will be the first family I wipe out when I enter the later stages of the game!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shot towards Li Qingzhou and the other two like a cannonball.

Seeing this, the three of them did not choose to flee, but instead took out their magical artifacts and went to meet the enemy. This battle was not only about the face of the Li family, but also about the face of the Li family in the Qingxia Mountains, in Leizhou, and even in Xi Kingdom in the future. Naturally, they could not show the fear of the Li family cultivators.

Moreover, in their view, the three of them working together were not necessarily going to lose to the other side. They did not seek to defeat Yue Tian; as long as they could remain undefeated while working together, they would have the leverage to negotiate with the other side again, because there was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Li family's main hall who had not yet made a move.

However, the reality was not as they imagined.

The moment they engaged Yue Tian in battle, they felt an unparalleled and terrifying power that even their spiritual energy could not withstand. In a single blow, the three of them were sent flying!

The three of them felt their blood and qi surge, and their internal organs were shaken so badly that they were thrown backward more than ten feet away uncontrollably.

Just as they were blasted to the entrance of the plaza and about to fly into it, an extremely solid stream of spiritual energy struck them from behind, forcibly stopping their backward flight without causing any backlash.

After the three landed, they looked behind them in surprise. What they saw made them freeze in place. Then, they stood up with great joy and walked to a young man.

Upon seeing this, Li Heng couldn't help but show a look of doubt in his eyes. He didn't know the young man, but judging from the expressions of the patriarch and the elders, they seemed to be very friendly to the man, even as if they had seen a long-lost relative.

"Yun Fan, it really is you!" Li Qingzhou said excitedly.

"Father, elders, I'm home!" Li Yunfan said with a warm smile.

The clan elder was also very excited at this moment, and said "good" three times. Just as he was about to say something more, Li Qingzhou's expression suddenly changed, and he said urgently.

"You shouldn't have come back at this time, then..."

Li Yunfan raised his hand to interrupt his father, gave him a reassuring look, and told him about his cultivation level without hiding anything.

"Don't worry, I'm a late-stage cultivator now, not necessarily weaker than this madman. And even if I can't beat him, it's alright. At worst, all five of us from the Li family can join forces and take him down."

After speaking, he walked between the two men toward Yue Tian, ​​gradually revealing his late-stage cultivation level that he had been concealing.

For a moment, the Qi Refining cultivators who came to offer their congratulations felt as if they were dreaming. They not only saw the renowned Mad Cultivator Yue Tian, ​​but also another unfamiliar late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the two seemed to be about to have a great battle.

In Leizhou, a place without major sects or families, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is already considered a formidable expert. They are rarely seen, as cultivators at this level have only one goal: to advance towards Core Formation. They rarely reveal themselves, let alone engage in a battle between two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This was already a great opportunity for the Qi Refining cultivators present, as witnessing a battle between cultivators of this level would undoubtedly be immensely beneficial to their cultivation.

At this moment, after sensing the fluctuations in Li Yunfan's cultivation, Yue Tian's smile gradually faded. Looking at the man approaching him, a hint of apprehension appeared deep in his eyes, and he asked with a somewhat solemn expression.

"A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator! There shouldn't be anyone like you in Lei and Yun states. Did you come from another state? What's your name, and why are you helping the Li family?"

Li Yunfan's lips curled slightly as he slowly uttered his name.

"Li Yunfan, son of the Li family patriarch!"
